Speeches by Moore.

“Undoubtedly, one of those is social media. We have seen the rise of AI and of algorithms changing, so that content is being fed with the polarisation of views. We all know that. I wonder what your views are on how we address that. Today, the Secretary of State gave a statement in the House on looking at rolling out ano…”

“In the earlier panel, Dame Sara made the point that those who fall into the terrorism category are more likely to be ideologically driven Islamists, and those in the extremism category are more likely to fall under far-right extremism. Therefore, as a supplementary to the question I have already asked, do you think the…”

“I want to follow up on the point you were making about community cohesion. Do you think that there is a responsibility on the state, whether national or local government, not to address key issues? To use a quick example from my own constituency, with gang-related grooming and child sexual exploitation, there is an arg…”

“I want to focus on the Prevent duty. We know that local authorities and education and health providers are mandated, under the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act, to deliver and be aware of how to make referrals to the Prevent programme, but that does not cover extremism; it is just those where there is a duty associat…”

“That would be helpful. Thank you.”

“Finally, what assessment, if any, has been done on the quality of referrals that have made under the Prevent duty?”

“I am really pleased to hear that, because Nick Griffin stood to be the Member of Parliament in Keighley back in 2005 on that very issue. That just builds into the point you are making about social cohesion breakdown. Turning now to young people, what are the main drivers behind the increase in young people being radica…”

“While you are finding that, can you expand on the nature of the organisations that deliver the programmes, and whether you have confidence that they are delivering them appropriately?”

“So that you can establish confidence for Committee members, what action are you taking to ensure that everyone who undertakes the Prevent duty is confident and competent in identifying and referring individuals who are of concern?”

“Finally from me, you mentioned the education point, which is to do with not only digital but media literacy. What are your recommendations on how we should educate parents with young children, teenagers and young people themselves? That is beyond the social media world—in wider education.”

“It has been a thought-provoking debate in which we have heard from Members from across the House. There are very few petitions debates where the whole Chamber is full, so I once again thank Helen Whitelegg and Robert Branch for bringing forward two really good petitions—signed by 376,000 people—that enabled us all to d…”

“What discussions has the Minister had with Ministers in the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on the animal welfare strategy that has been launched? I have read that strategy, and it does not really address the issue of fireworks. Given that so many animal welfare concerns have been raised, what conver…”

“The Minister need not panic, because we have this room until 7.30 pm and so there is plenty of time for her to carry on speaking and to take interventions. She is kindly outlining the legislation that is currently in place, but it is not working. We know that there is a threshold of 11 pm on most nights, but across Kei…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered e-petitions 738192 and 732559 relating to the sale of fireworks. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Pritchard. It is a privilege to introduce the debate on these two petitions on behalf of the Petitions Committee. It is not the first time we have been her…”

“I absolutely agree. As the hon. Member says, the issue is about tougher licensing as well. I have seen fireworks for sale in pop-up shops in my own constituency of Keighley; it cannot be right that no regulation is associated with that. The pop-up shops could be below residential flats or units and there could be a ris…”

“That brings me on nicely to the next petition. Another option is for people to require the approval of their local council to hold firework displays. That would allow the council to control the number and the timing of firework displays, ensuring that they are more considerate of the whole community. In addition, it is…”

“I agree. Although enforcement is challenging, those carrying it out can be helped by tougher legislation. We need to learn the lessons from north of the border, up in Scotland, and what the SNP Government have rolled out. However, recommendations upon recommendations have been put forward to Governments of all colours …”

“I will make a little more progress and then take some more interventions. Having spoken to Helen, one of the lead petitioners, who represents the UK’s largest horse charity Redwings Horse Sanctuary, which has already been mentioned by my hon. Friend the Member for Epping Forest (Dr Hudson), I know how urgent these call…”

“Before I tell that story, I will give way.”

“I have spoken about this issue for the last six years, so if the Government take any action after today’s debate, I will welcome it. I want both the recommendations put forward by the two petitions, which have been signed by over 376,000 people, to be listened to, acted on and enforced.”
